Ah. That makes sense. Thanks. I guess that means I'll just turn off DRM and not use VIA's hw mpeg library. As I said in my other email, it's not like I love to do this, but I do need to be able to use my OQO on a DVI 1280x1024 and I can't do this for now with openchrome. I'll definitely go with openchrome once I can do that. N.B.: In other circumstances I would have implemented it myself, but my schedule is such these days that that's not feasible. I wish it were otherwise.
